O ye who believe , fasting is
 prescribed fro you.... as it was
prescribed for those before you
 may safeguard yourselves against
 every kind of ill and become righteous.


 Quran

***


Fast regularly and help the body
heal itself and stay well. Give
 all of your organs a rest. Fasting
 can help reverse the ageing
 process, and if we use it
 correctly, we will live longer, happier life.


 James Balch
